Who pays for this site?

Anyone else here know what the last one means? Hey it's a compliment!...

I still say Forum shirts or hats would be nice. My Benchmade hat's about shot and I need something to wear to the range! Maybe "Bumper for President" bumper stickers?

Oh, hell no, Jack, you think Bush is having a problem right now. Imagine what would happen when I required everyone in the country to carry a concealed weapon. Why, there would be "blood running in the streets".....

Hats and shirts, maybe one of these days whenever I can come up with a cool logo that doesn't give us away as permit holders. I don't want any of our members being shot because they had a CombatCarry hat or tshirt on....

That sounds like a job for Chris maybe, He has come up with some pretty nice stuff,

As long as it dosen't show off those S&S

Or maybe an idea for a new Forum catagory, Where everyone could post ideas, and then we all could input on small changes and or ideas.

[QUOTE=P95Carry]Mike - some while back I did experiment with some graphics but we didn't pursue it to a useable conclusion.

Chris,

I like that a lot.

Are their any promotional product people on here. I'm sure the logistics of handling it all would be a pain in the butt.

FWIW, One idea, maybe, If enough people volunteered, maybe a regional distribution could be set up. I'd be a part of that. The main shipment would be broken down to the regional shipments, then the regionals would ship the individual orders to their final destination. I can't print or embroider, or know anyone who could, but I can divvy up some hats or t-shits and ship them out. This would add a little to the cost of each item, but then we are not exactly Wal-Mart either.

Hey..Bumper thanks alot man. I just hit Senior member and believe it or not I am so excited. I would also +1 this as being the best gun site on the net. Moreover, although I am well versed in handling weapons per military standards, I learned so much from the guys and girls here about civilian carry that I can't thank you and mods here enough. Thanks again

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."

I like that monotone design Chris, definitely do-able.
FWIW, a bunch of us over on the 1911 Forum ordered embroidered shirts not long after 9-11-01. Not too expensive, good quality and the Forum Admin got a percentage of the cost to help with expenses. West End Country Embroidery did the work (including several shirts to choose from). http://www.wecembroidery.com/

We chose the red, white & blue embroidered eagle over "1911Forum.com" over "United We Stand." Don't remember the exact cost but seems it was somewhere around $25 (no idea how much of that went to the Forum Admin), and she does custom logos too. I still wear that shirt every time I go to the range so it's held up well.

My wife works some part time with a small outfit doing silk screen and embroidery - so I guess we could work something out, tho she wants to get out of that place actually if truth known!

She does embroider at home too so I know we can do small embroidered logo's on T's and hats. Costs tend be be up there a bit with this sorta stuff but - I guess we could always fix something up if later there was demand. Subject of course to ''admin'' approval!!!

Hey, even better. If "Dad" okayed it we could keep it in the family ... err, assuming Mrs. Carry agreed.

My wife has an embroidery machine, too and is ready to do it if I could ever settle on a logo. I really do like the logo that Chris made up but I have something bouncing around inside my head that hasn't really completely formed yet. "Vision" sounds sorta corny, but can't think of anything else to call it, lol.

We've also been tossing the idea of buying some screenprint equipment, but with us trying to finish out the house, we don't quite have the budget for it yet.... Be patient and I am betting you will see something fairly soon....
